London: Eyewear Publishing, (2014). Hardcover first edition - A mystery novel in verse which won Mexico's Xavier Villaurutia Prize in 2009. Bilingual edition with Spanish and English on facing pages translated by poet David Shook (who is also known as Bolano's translator). This "centers around Mr. Gordon, who, after being let go from his job due to his unstable behavior, experiences the unfolding of his spirit in an artificial Californian Eden. In the shade of a thousand-leaved tree, very near a pool's edge, Gordon transcribes his thoughts, memories and questions while he tries to cope with abuse from his wife and his best friend . . a poem written in the magical realist tradition, drawing on both film noir and West Coast thrillers." Translator's note. 191 pp. ISBN: 978-1908998224.
